Replacing Galvanized Piping With Copper Piping

Most older homes were built with galvanized piping, which rusts and deteriorates over time. As this problem gets worse, it builds up inside the pipes. It is this accumulation of corroded material throughout the water lines that restricts the flow of water.

The main lines from the street may be unimpeded, but as water moves through lines in the house, the clogged pipes reduce the volume of water that can get through to the fixtures. It's this blockage that causes the low water pressure in the shower, the washer, and sinks. This also is the reason that you're being scalded or frozen in the shower when someone flushes the toilet or uses the water in another part of the house.

As the situation worsens, the water can become dirty and unfit to drink. Rust spots may even turn up on freshly washed clothes and linens. There is also the risk of leaks developing inside the walls, in the attic, and under the house, which can cause major damage to the home.
